It seemed that among the researchers, there was someone who had the ability to understand fortune telling like Seo Kang-rim.
He was closely examining the demon’s face and hands.
Yang Baek looked down quietly and asked.
“What about the ability?”
“It’s just a simple attack ability.”
“But since it’s a high rank, I guess we can use it as a clown shield. Let’s move it to the growth room for now.”
Before I knew it, Masu was lying on a transport bed, wearing clothes that looked like a hospital gown.
As the researchers dragged the beds into the growth chamber, a cold chill wafted through the vents.
‘… … You said it was a growth room.’
Seo Kang-rim looked at the huge capsule-shaped coffins that filled the large room.
The demon, named B-142, was soon laid in an empty coffin.
Inside the capsules lined up on both sides, humanoid demons were lying side by side, asleep.
‘Were these demons being used as a substitute for the clown?’
But that was not the purpose of this institute.
Clearly they said it was unsuitable to be used as a ‘vessel’.
‘If it’s a bowl… … Could it be that you were in the process of making a full body?’
I have never heard of a case where a demon possesses a spirit.
But it is clear that the Demon King also has a destiny, and human-shaped Demon Kings can steal that destiny.
‘If a demon becomes infinitely close to a human, it may be possible for it to become possessed by a god.’
In some ways, that might have been more useful than finding humans and inviting them to come down.
They hatched unknown eggs at specific times, controlling their attributes and fortune levels in advance.
It is possible to create a powerful body yourself.
I knew the Protectorate was going crazy, but seeing it in person was quite shocking.
At that moment, a faint sound leaked out from Yang Baek’s ear.
“… … What? The director?”
There was a hint of urgency in his voice.
He scratched his head as if he was annoyed, then immediately moved his feet.
“I guess there’s still time… … . Okay, let’s go right away.”
Seo Kang-rim followed Yang Baek, who was leaving the growth room in a hurry.
Judging from his expression, the situation seemed serious.
The place where Yang Baek entered was too large and wide to be called a laboratory.
Inside the warehouse, which was large enough to store an airplane, numerous mechanical devices were placed.
In the center was a bed, with several researchers hanging out on it.
“Ugh, ugh… … !”
There was a person lying in bed who appeared to be a patient, but his condition did not look good.
The man was lying there with so many mechanical devices and tubes inserted into him that he seemed to be part of the machine.
The moment the patient started struggling and the cloth covering his face was removed.
Seo Kang-rim’s gaze was fixed on the patient’s face.
When I saw that face, it felt like time had stopped.
It felt like even the air had disappeared.
It was Baek Young.
Her silver-white hair hung down, and she was writhing in pain.
I never thought of a reunion like this.
I thought he would greet me with an air of life and death, just like when we first met.
When I faced Baek Young, I felt like my desire for revenge would rise to the top of my head, but now I felt even more embarrassed.
Why is Baekyoung like that?
At that moment, Yang Yi-baek approached the bed, swearing softly.
“Ah, so this is what it ended up like.”
Baek Young’s body was shaking violently as if she was having a seizure.
Blood flowed from his mouth, soaking his forehead and silver hair.
He spoke to the researchers.
“Administer magic potion. Strengthening agent.”
Researchers tried to calm him down by administering medication, but the situation did not improve.
The body that had been shaking for a long time finally stopped, but the researchers’ faces turned pale.
Yang Yibaek checked his vital signs and sighed softly.
“The 42nd director died at 13:52. But he held out for quite some time this time.”
He pulled up a white cloth and covered the body of the chief.
Seo Kang-rim was bewildered by the fact that his enemy Baek Young had died and by Yang Yi-baek’s remarks.
‘The 42nd director?’
It’s probably only been a dozen years or so since the protectorate was established, 42nd?
Seo Kang-rim was wondering, but he was able to vaguely understand this situation.
‘The god of the protectorate, was he replacing all the gods?’
When a god who was too powerful came down to a human, the price was often paid in the form of a shortened lifespan or going mad.
Just as the apostle Beelzebub, whom we encountered in the monastery, died a miserable death.
Some gods used the gods as disposable and then threw them away, then looked for new gods.
‘Is it because the director changed people often that he always wore a mask and didn’t show his face?’
What kind of god would do something like this?

No, rather, I didn’t know how to accept Baek Young’s death.
Seo Kang-rim was the one who wished for her death more than anyone else.
But this wasn’t the way I wanted to die.
After telling him everything, he should have killed him with his own hands.
Seo Kang-rim glared at them, swallowing hatred, anger, and confusion.
Just then, one of the researchers came in, pulling a sleeper cart.
“Team Leader Yang, I brought the next bowl. However, it didn’t hatch on time… … .”
“I guess there’s nothing we can do. Let’s try an experiment.”
There was someone in the sleeping car.
The face there also looked familiar.
There was Baek Young there too.
‘There’s another Baekyoung? Are they twins?’
No matter how I looked at it, it was Baek Young.
There’s no mistaking that face.
When he quickly checked the two people’s fortunes, the name entries were different.
═══════════════
[Name] H-230
[Name] S-098
═══════════════
It wasn’t a common human name.
While Seo Kang-rim was trying to sort out the current situation, Yang Yi-baek opened his mouth.
“The descent of the gods begins.”
At those words, the sleeping woman opened her eyes wide.
His wide-open eyes were filled with fear and pain.
She screamed and thrashed as if she had been thrown alive into a fire.
“Ahh! No, no! Get out now! Get out… … !”
It felt like the scene just before where Baek Young died was being repeated.
For several minutes, screams to get out filled the air along with vital signs.
The woman’s arm, which had been shaking, trembled and then fell off.
The vital signs were again forming a straight line.
“Ah, as expected… … . It was impossible.”
Yang Yi-baek scratched his head as if he was troubled.
At that moment, one of the researchers spoke with an anxious face.
“Team Leader, what should we do now? There is no longer a vessel to receive the divine power. We cannot leave the position of Director vacant… … .”
“It’s okay, I prepared a new bowl.”
Yang Baek said that and contacted someone.
Soon someone was brought inside on a stretcher, and he too was bound tightly with restraints.
It was a familiar face, but it wasn’t Baek Young.
“Team Leader Yang Yi-baek! What are you doing? Let go immediately!”
The person who came inside is someone Seo Kang-rim knows well.
It was Princess, the leader of Team 2 of the Protectorate.
Team Leader Princess’s usual arrogant expression was nowhere to be seen, and she was filled with only irritation and impatience.
Yang Yi-baek quietly looked down at the sight.
“Team Leader Gong knows what he’s doing. Oh, now that he’s been demoted, he’s no longer the team leader.”
“This is ridiculous! No matter how many times I failed, I’m being demoted! There are plenty of others who have done the same!”
“I also feel sorry for him. If only there had been a cup of blood, the director would have held out a little longer, but he died instead.”
The princess looked at the director lying on the bed.
It was already a corpse and there was no movement.
The princess bit her lips and glared at Yang Yibaek.
“There are plenty of other test subjects. Let’s make them possessed!”
“We’ve already used up all the useful test subjects. The rest are so lacking in ability that even if they receive a divine power, they’ll either go crazy or die right away.”
Yang Baek said with a look of annoyance on his face.
This conversation itself seemed to be something he was not particularly interested in.
“Think positively, Team Leader Gong. I think Team Leader Gong can handle it, so I’m using him as a vessel.”
“You crazy bastard, you call that talking?”
“You were jealous of Team Leader Seomun, weren’t you? You wanted to get promoted, so it worked out well for you. If you persevere, you’ll become a director. Cheer up.”
Yang Baek began to pin the princess down on the experimental table while conversing dryly.
No matter how much she spoke, Yang Yibaek showed no sign of backing down, so the princess now spoke in a pleading tone.
“Please tell Team Leader Seomun! Give me one more chance! I’m also in the process of finding the first owner! Once I finish that… …!”
“Oh, that’s already been passed on to the team leader of Team 4. Give up.”
Yang Yi-baek was moving his hands diligently while listening to the princess’s words.
There are a lot of items prepared next to it that appear to be strengthening agents and magic potions.
Seo Kang-rim’s head started spinning as he watched the scene.
‘You’re looking for the first owner? For what reason?’
Are you looking for a god to make you an ally?
Or are you looking for them because they are your enemies?
What is certain is that the first master is not a god of the protectorate.
And the fact that it had important implications for the protectorate.
‘Besides, if they’re sacrificing a high-ranking position like Team Leader Princess, it seems like their situation is quite dire.’
When I listened to the story now, the princess seemed to be the only vessel.
What would happen if the princess died in this situation?
A god without a body cannot directly intervene in the present world.
The longer the director’s absence lasted, the more advantageous the situation became for Seo Kang-rim.
The purpose of infiltrating here today is to find out what’s inside the lab.
But there was a second plan in case something happened.
Now was the perfect time for that emergency.
“Damn it, no matter what you say, if I refuse to be conceived, it’s over! The choice is mine!”
“Team Leader Gong, are you going to act like a slob? Wouldn’t it be better to receive it now than to go to the torture chamber? Wouldn’t receiving the divine power increase your chances of survival at least a little bit?”
While they were arguing, Seo Kang-rim took action.
-Phajijik!
Darkness came in an instant.
When all the electricity inside was cut off and only the dim green light of the emergency lights illuminated the room, the researchers inside looked confused.
Yang Baek furrowed his brow and spoke to In-Ear.
“What’s going on? Is there a power outage?”
“[Someone forcibly cut off the power! It seems to be a clown!]”
“A clown came in? Did he come in through the hospital?”
“[That doesn’t seem to be the case! There’s nothing wrong with the hospital… … .]”
-Crack!
A cracking sound was heard from beyond the earphones.
Seo Kang-rim could also hear what Yang Baek was hearing.
That would be the case, since Seo Kang-rim’s clone was currently sweeping through the lab.
Since all of his clones were wearing masks, it looked to the researchers like a group of clowns had invaded.
What the clones were seeing and feeling was also vividly conveyed to Seo Kang-rim.
There was currently no way for a door or a shield to enter the basement of the building.
But there is one reason why Seo Kang-rim did not back down.
Because I was confident that I could handle this situation on my own.
“[Everyone, stop! There aren’t many clowns left!]”
“[But they are too strong… …!]”
Although the clones did not receive all of Seo Kang-rim’s abilities, they were strong enough with that alone.
Yang Yi-baek opened his eyes as he heard screams coming from beyond the ear.
